Praise precedes abundance.


“And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.”
2 Chronicles 20:25

Praise brings you into a realm where you do not struggle to get what is of value. What others struggle to get will come to you effortlessly when you are a person of praise.

Praise brings you into a realm where you become so blessed that other people become blessed because of you. When Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises to God, the Bible says in Acts 16:26(GNB), “Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, which shook the prison to its foundations. At once all the doors opened, and the chains fell off all the prisoners.” The earth responded to their praise and not only their chains, but the chains of all the prisoners fell off because of their praise.

Also, the Bible says in Psalm 67:5-6, “Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” Your praise will cause God's blessings to be released upon you in abundance. Therefore I encourage you to live a life of continual praise to God.
